WHAT IS INDIANA’S NEW ABORTION LAW, AND WHEN DOES IT GO INTO EFFECT?

Effective September 15, 2022, Indiana Code 16-34-2-1, will ban abortion in Indiana, except during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy to prevent “any serious health risk to the pregnant woman or save the pregnant woman’s life” or if “the fetus is diagnosed with a lethal fetal anomaly.” Also, a woman who got pregnant as a result of rape or incest may have an abortion during first 10 weeks of the pregnancy. Additionally, Indiana’s new abortion law limits the use of the abortion inducing drug, Mifepristone, to the first 8 weeks of the pregnancy. Some have described Indiana’s abortion law as the most restrictive abortion law in the country and the first since the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe vs. Wade.

Putting a baby up for adoption, or more appropriately making an adoption plan, gives a woman facing an untimely pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, or unwanted pregnancy an alternative to parenting the child. 

If you would like to explore adoption, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C.  — or the “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh are sometimes called – Steve, and his brothers, Joel and Rob, and his son, Grant, pride themselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment.

AM I OLD ENOUGH TO ADOPT A NEWBORN?

This morning, we, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”) received inquiries through our website,www.LovingAdoptions.com, from 19- and 18-year-olds, looking into adopting newborns and wanted to know if they were old enough to adopt. Indiana adoption statutes do not state for adoptive parents. However, as adoption attorneys, we can decide whom we wish to represent as prospective adoptive parents, and we do not have to accept as clients everyone who contacts us. We hold to the belief that we would not represent prospective adoptive parents, whom we would not feel comfortable adopting our own children. Additionally, our 4 adoption attorneys know, from our 90 years of combined experience practicing adoption law in Indiana, that women thinking about putting up their babies for adoption, or more correctly making an adoption plan for their children, will not choose a couple or individual to adopt, if the birth mother or expectant mother is not certain of the couple’s or individual’s ability to provide their babies with a stable, loving home, and bright future. Being a great parent takes many attributes, including love, time, commitment, knowledge, skill, patience, understanding, and life experiences. LOVE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH. If it were, a pregnant woman would never give up their babies for adoption. We KNOW that expectant mothers and birth mothers have all the LOVE IN THE WORLD for their babies. In fact, love for their babies is the primary factor for a birth parent to proceed with adoption because they have determined that they lack the other attributes to successfully parent their soon-to-be-born or already-born babies. In fact, most of the birth mothers whom we assist in finding adoptive homes for the babies are older than late teens themselves. National adoption agencies, local adoption agencies, and other adoption attorneys may have other adoption requirements, but at Kirsh & Kirsh, we want our adoptive parent clients to have completed their educations, gotten themselves established in their careers, and if a married couple, have marital stability.

I’M THINKING ABOUT GIVING MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION, BUT WHAT IF THE BABY IS BORN WITH A BIRTH DEFECT?

We, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), cannot speak for local adoption agencies or national adoption agencies, but over the 35+ years and the numerous successful adoptions we have arranged, we have NEVER walked away from a sick baby. We have had babies with cerebral palsy, hemophilia, Down Syndrome, and even one baby who was not expected to live more than a few months, among other medical issues. In every situation we have seen, we have found loving, forever homes for the baby.

We have lots of wonderful, carefully screened, loving families (married, single, Lesbian, and Gay) who cannot wait to welcome a baby into their hearts and homes and are happy to assist with living expenses to the full extent allowed by law.

CAN ADOPTION ATTORNEYS KIRSH & KIRSH, P.C. (“KIRSH & KIRSH”) HELP ME FIND A SAME-SEX, MALE COUPLE TO ADOPT, IF I PUT UP MY BABY FOR ADOPTION IN INDIANA, LIKE AN ADOPTION AGENCY?

YES! Some national adoption agencies and local adoption agencies, because of religious affiliation, do not accept gay or lesbian, prospective adoptive parents as clients. However, we, at Kirsh & Kirsh, have long believed that an expectant mother should have the right to select the family she wants to have adopt her baby. Kirsh & Kirsh requires all of their prospective adoptive parent clients – not just gay and lesbian adoptive parents — to have a home study, investigation, and evaluation of their suitability to adopt before we will represent them in adoption.
